An error outside JVM thrown when running the application

Question

I am working on my app based on World Wind Java SDK in Eclipse. Like two weeks ago, I have started to get such error thrown every time I am trying to run the app:

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x1a97d42a, pid=4136, tid=4888 JRE version: 6.0_31-b05 Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (20.6-b01 mixed mode windows-x86 ) Problematic frame: C [ig4icd32.dll+0x3d42a]

An error report file with more information is saved as:
C:\thesis\100GreatP\eclipse_ws\test\hs_err_pid4136.log

If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
[url]http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp[/url] The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. See problematic frame for where to report the bug.

The funny thing is that this happens only if I am trying to display my newly made layer right when the app starts:

wwd.getModel().getLayers().add(GreatPlacesIcons);
wwd.addSelectListener(GreatPlacesIcons);
layers = new LayerViewDockable(wwd,"layers");

Once I make a comment on those lines of code above, the app will start correctly. Does anyone have an idea of what is going on here?

SO finally I have solved my problem. The problem was outside code and Eclipse, the problem was in defining one of the JVM Environment variables, CLASSPATH. I have figured it out from the log file, here is its extraction:

VM Arguments: jvm_args: -Dfile.encoding=Cp1252 java_command: org.cnstar.wiki.app.GreatPlaces Launcher Type: SUN_STANDARD

Environment Variables: JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib; PATH=C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/bin/client;C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/bin;C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/lib/i386;

The variable classpath was pointing to jre7, however, it was not like that anymore since I unistalled Java 7 a few days ago. And when I was running my application, it automatically failed. So I went to (Windows XP) Start -> Control Panels -> System -> Advanced -> Environment variables and changed the variable CLASSPATH so that it was pointing to jre6.
